How Much the Quantity Exceeds That
of the State of Maine.

of the State of Maine.
A statement from Lord Macaulay led me to
practical examination of lreland'S resources
1 went at it in plain farmer like way and
examined the statistics relating to Ireland's
production. Igathered all my information
from British authority, but could get no later
accounts than for the year 1880 and for the
years preceding, and give you the result of
my examination, frankly confessing that
was astounded at the magnitude of the figures.
In the year 1880 ireland produced 100000
bushels of wheat. But wheat has ceased to
be the crop of Ireland. She produced s, 0O0, 900
bushels of barley. But barley is not one of
the great crops of ireland. She produced
100000 bushels of oats, very extraordin-
airy yield, considering Ireland's small area.
The next item think every one will recog-
nize as peculiarly adapted to Ireland Of
potatoes she produced 100000 bushels,
within CO. 100000 of the whole product of the
United States for the same year. In turnips
and mangels together she produced Isl, 900
bushels, vastly greater in weight than the
largest cotton crop of the United States She
produced of fax 100000 of pounds and of
cabbage $50, 900, 900 of pounds. She produced
of hay $500, 600 tons. She had on her thou
sand hills and in her valleys over 100000
head of cattle, and in the same pasturage she
had $780, 900 head of sheep She had 100000
horses and 100000 asses and mules. During
the year 1880 she exported to England over
100000 cattle, over 700, 900 sheep and nearly
100000 swine Pray, remember, all these
came from q territory not quite as large az
the state of Maine, and from an area of culti-
walton less than 100000 of acres in extent.
But with this magnificent abundance on
this fertile land, rivaling the richness of the
ancient Goshen, there are men in want of
food and appealing to-day to the charity of
the stranger and compelled to ask aims
through their blood and kindred in America.
Why should this sad condition occur in land
that overfows with plenty and exports mil
lions of produce to other countries9 Accord
ing to the inspired command of the great
la vgiver of Israel, "Thou shalt not muzzle
the box that treadeth out the corn" and st.
Paul, in quoting this text in his first epistle
to Timothy, added: "The laboler is worthy
of his reward" and yet many of the men en-
gagged IN producing these wonderful harvests
are to-day lacking bread to satisfy their
hunger.-Great Irish Struggle.

THE OUTGOING RACE.

The mothers wish for no more daughters;
There is no future before them.
They bow their heads and their pride
At the end of the many tribes journey.
The mothers weep over their children.
Loved and unwelcome together,
Who should have been dreamed, not born.
Since there is no road for the Indian.
The mothers see into the future,
Beyond the end of that chitfrain,
Who shall be the last of the race
Which allowed only death 10 a coward.
The square, cold cheeks and lips firm set,
The hot, straight glance, and the throat line,
Held like stays ON the cliff
ShGli he swept by the night winds and vanish
